Remember the card I mentioned in my last post? Well, to my utter surprise, it was chosen as one of the 'Top Picks' for STAMPlorations January challenge as well (wohoo! :) ) and, therefore, I now have the huge honour of being a Guest Designer for STAMPlorations March challenge as well (talk about me being lucky!). The theme for March is 'Stamps and Stencil' and this is my card. I used the gorgeous 'Bold Florals' stencil as an embossing folder and ran it with my cardstock through my Cuttlebug to get beautiful texture on the card panel. This way the background also remained subtle enough so that it doesn't steal the limelight from the stamped (and fussy cut..) flower. The flower stamp is from 'Bloom Sketches' set, as is the sentiment, and I coloured the flower with my Polychromos pencils and added some gold thread behind it. I adhered the embossed panels onto my cardbase with foam adhesives for little added interest.

Once again, a huge big thank you to Shery at STAMPlorations and to the whole design team for letting me be a guest designer for the March challenge - it's an honour! And a special thank you to Nonni who very kindly lent me some of her STAMPlorations goodies to play with :)

I am in love with your card, Milla! I adore the subtle texture you created using the stencils and that daisy -- wonderfully colored! It makes me happy to have a talent such as you guest designing not once but twice this month! Hugs!
